You can disable this feature to get back to the old way of resizing. Right click in the lock icon and if you see Smart Transform in the pop out menu, deselect it.
For me it did not quite work as I expected. To make this setting work for image objects, I had to do one of the things that I described in my previous mail (either enable showing selection bound handles, or making a bogus group for the image). If the image was displaying the blue dots around it, then regardless of this setting the image was being cropped, not squished.
